Quote from: crow on June 23, 2016, 11:43:22 AMIt's hard to put the bow down during the peak of the rut, but I also really like hunting the fall/winter turkey season, it is fun to call turkeys no matter when.
Quote from: VaTuRkStOmPeR on June 23, 2016, 08:55:01 PMI've never gotten into fall turkeys for 2 reasons:1: Laying scent all over properties I deer hunt is counter-productive to killing nature deer and I have no desire to opportunistically shoot a turkey that happens to walk by me on a deer hunt.2: Because I hate the idea of killing a hen when I know she'll be laying eggs and rearing broods in the spring.
Quote from: trkehunr93 on June 24, 2016, 09:55:08 PMLove to fall hunt turkeys, no science to back up claimsit is effecting spring turkey hunting. Science does back up that it takes two jakes to get one spring gobbler, meaning based on disease, predation, etc. statistically only one of those two jakes will reach maturity. Look it up, Lovett Williams published it. Second, there are far fewer fall hunters than spring hunters so the killing of hens has minimal impact on the population as a whole. Third, the buck pictured below was killed out of a treestand in a patch of woods I fall turkey hunt in quite frequently. Dang!! That's a nice one! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
